The government will issue newly introduced Tk 5 note as the government currency note from June 5, said Finance Division of Finance Ministry press release yesterday.
Senior Secretary of Finance Division Mahbub Ahmed will sign the note which will be available at Bangladesh Bank headquarters from June 5 and other offices of the central bank later, reports BSS.
President Abdul Hamid gave consent on November 21, 2015 on the issuance of Tk 5 note as the government currency note.
Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith yesterday handed over a crest with two specimen copies of newly introduced Tk 5 government currency note to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the cabinet meeting.
The Tk 5 note or coin was earlier issued as a bank note and coin. But with the passage of Bangladesh Coinage (Amendment) Act 2015 by parliament, Tk 5 note or coin will now be considered as the government currency note or coin.
